JENNY LIMBS VoICE.-It is said that
Jenny Lind Goldschmidt's daughter,
who, according to rIlmor, has inherited
her mothers voice, will shortly be heard
in the United States. Ithas always been
a mystery what became of Jenny Limbs
marvellous vocal organ, for it is rare that
the possessor of such gift should per-
sist through so many years in keeping it
to herself. Perhaps, like the mother of
Adeliua Patti, whose voice was said to be
never so good after the birth of her Won
derful child, Nine Goldschmidt trans
ferred her vocal powers, in a measure, to
her offspring. In that case the appear
ance of Miss Lind Goldschmidt will be
regarded with unwonted interest. New

Stories of a Virginia Home.

The Clay Hill protrait of Mr.. John
Randolph, said to be the finest like
ness of him, is now in the Corcoran
gallery at Washington.
Long after Mrs. Tabb's death MIR.
Randolph still came to Clay Hill. He
was there one day at dinner party
given to a young army officer. At
table the military guest was giving
glowing account of the Mexican
churches, some of the finest o, which,
he said, had been turned into barracks
by the United States troops.
why. captain, were you not afraid
to do it?" asked one of the ladies.
30, no; for my part, the captain
replied, II have become so used to
such things that | could take my
dinner on an altar as comfortably as
elsewhere.
''And so would hog, SIR" said Mr..
Randolph.
In the silence that followed this ter
rible thrust, they say the very air of
the room seemed to Jingle as the
nerves of the guest did.
At that time, and even much later
day, there was in the neighborhood
church. Sometimes only once in three
or four years would a parson appear,
and then it was that the wedding took
place and that all the hildren born in
the interval were brought to be bap-
tiZed. This last, as matter of cour-
tesy to the pastor, was of strict obi

The privilege of 'cussing" secured
to him by this strange dispensation,
the little fellow made no further resist

DR.. Archer was a lifelong partisan
of his illustrious brother-in-law, Gov.
Giles, one of the ablest politicians of
the day. Some time after the gov

a political discussion, said to his OPP

Got Even With the Mate.

An old citizen, gentleman of high
social and official standing in st.
Joseph, told the Gazette a story of the
famous Missouri Governor, Bob
Stewart, which, true to. the letter,
proves that fact is stranger than
fiction:
Il was coming up the Missouri river
when [ was boy" said the ex-Gov-
ernor, land l was working my way
on a steamboat, sab. At point where
we had to wood up l didn't carry as
big load as some of the roustabouts,
nor move with that agility, sab, that
the others did, for | was not strong,
sab, and had been tenderly raised.
The mate became enraged at my slow
movements on the gangplank, and he
gave me a kick and sent me ashore,
sab, and confiscated my buffalo robe
as payment for my passage to that
point. [ never saw that mate again
until l had been inaugurated as Gov
ernor of this great Commonwealth of
Missouri, sab.
Zone day wandering through the
wards and districts of the penitentiary
| saw that mate working at forge.
ing, in passion, man under his
command. | knew HIM instantly, sab,
and l directed the Warden to send the
man to the GubernatOrial Mansion in
the garb of a gentleman. When the
man arrived | took him into my pri-
vate office and asked him if he recog-
nized me, sab. He replied that he
did. Said l, Sab, do you remember
one time at such and such place,
sab, of kicking a boy and sending him
ashore, who had been working in
your gang?"
The man said, No sab, l don't re-
member it, but it is very likely that 1
did it, sah.'
"'Well, sab, says l, 4 am that boy,
sab, and here is your pardon, sab. /
always thought l would get even with
you, sah.'
1.-The tears came to the old mans
eyes, and he said, We'll, Governor, to
be mate in those days a man had to
be dog, sah.'
You played well your part, sah,'
| said, Now leave here, sab, and don't
let me see you again, sah.'
''As he made his exit l gave him an
able-bodied kick, sab, and little Bob
Stewart had got even with that big
steamboat mate, sab.
Sounds like a romance, don't it,
sab? Yes, sab. But every word is
true, l need barely say, sab"
